Simultaneous logins......

I usually log in with two or three of my nations at once. All in seperate windows.

I used to do this all the time and encounter no problems.

But now, whenever I do this.... the other window automatically changes to the nation I most recently logged in with.

This happens when I am in the forums and in the game.

Has something been changed?

There doesn't appear to have been a recent change (apart from custom titles) so it's strange that it should happen right now.

How long has this been different for? The most likely change would have been the transition from PINs (which would have given you perfect freedom to do that) to cookies(which don't recognise the browser window; only the site)

Hm. I usually just use different browsers. Mozilla for this one, IE when I'm hopping in with a puppet real quick-like.

Phoebos is perfectly correct this is an old problem dating from the change to cookies.

The best solution is to follow Hack's advice and treat yourself to some 21st Century browsers like Mozilla and Opera to use concurrently with Explorer, one browser per puppet.

Hmmm. Is it easy to use two different browsers at the same time? Friends keep telling me I should get some Mo'.

You can skin Opera so that it even looks like Explorer, and Mozilla is just a lovely browser to use.

If you can manage the complexities of alt-tab, you should be fine.
